Modifying nPartitions includes the following tasks: • Assign (add) or unassign (remove) cells from an nPartition: - In the Partition Manager Hardware tab, select an nPartition and cell and then select nPartition > Assign cell(s) / Cell > Assign cell(s) or nPartition > Unassign cell(s) / Cell > Unassign cell(s). - Alternatively, use the parmodify -p# -a#... command to add a cell or the parmodify -p# -d#... command to remove a cell from the nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). • Remove (delete) an nPartition: - Shut down all open applications on the target nPartition. Shut down Windows on the target nPartition. In the Partition Manager Hardware tab, select an nPartition and then select nPartition > Delete nPartition. - Alternatively, use the parremove -p# command to remove a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). • Rename an nPartition: - In the Partition Manager Hardware tab, select an nPartition and then select nPartition > Modify nPartition. In the General tab, enter a name in the nPartition Name text box and click OK. - Alternatively, use the parmodify -p# -P name command to set the name for a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). • Set cell attributes: - In the Partition Manager Hardware tab, select the nPartition that the target cell belongs to. Select nPartition > Modify nPartition. Click the Set Cell Options tab, change the Use On Next Boot attribute as desired, and click OK. - Alternatively, use the parmodify -p# -m#... command to modify cell attributes for a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number), or use the EFI Shell cellconfig command to set use-on-next-boot values. • Set core cell choices: - In the Partition Manager Hardware tab, select the nPartition to which the target cell belongs. Select nPartition > Modify nPartition. Click the Set Cell Options tab, change the Core Cell Choice attribute, and click OK. - Alternatively, use the parmodify -p# -r# -r#... command to specify up to four core cell choices in priority order for a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number), or use the EFI Shell rootcell command to set core cell choices. • Set cell local memory (vs. interleaved memory) values: - In the Partition Manager Hardware tab, select the nPartition to which the target cell belongs. Then select nPartition > Modify nPartition. Click the Configure Memory tab, change the Requested CLM attribute (as a fraction of total available memory, or as a fixed amount), and click OK. - Alternatively, use the parmodify -p# -m#::::%command (-p#, where # is the partition number, -m#, where # is the cell number, and where % is the cell local memory value, expressed as a percentage). • Setting nPartition boot paths: - You must use the EFI Shell bcfg command to configure boot paths.

Modifying nPartitions includes the following tasks:
•
Assign (add) or unassign (remove) cells from an nPartition:
—
In the Partition Manager
Hardware
tab, select an nPartition and cell and then select
nPartition > Assign cell(s)
/
Cell > Assign cell(s)
or
nPartition > Unassign cell(s)
/
Cell > Unassign cell(s)
.
—
Alternatively, use the
parmodify -p
#
-a
#
...
command to add a cell or the
parmodify -p
#
-d
#
...
command to remove a cell from the nPartition (
-p
#
, where
#
is the partition number).
•
Remove (delete) an nPartition:
—
Shut down all open applications on the target nPartition. Shut down Windows on the
target nPartition. In the Partition Manager
Hardware
tab, select an nPartition and then
select
nPartition > Delete nPartition
.
—
Alternatively, use the
parremove -p
#
command to remove a specified nPartition (
-p
#
,
where
#
is the partition number).
•
Rename an nPartition:
—
In the Partition Manager
Hardware
tab, select an nPartition and then select
nPartition

—
Alternatively, use the
parmodify -p
#

#
is the partition number).
•
Set cell attributes:
—

to. Select
nPartition > Modify nPartition
. Click the
Set Cell Options
tab, change the
Use On Next Boot
attribute as desired, and click
OK
.
—
Alternatively, use the
parmodify -p
#
-m
#
...
command to modify cell attributes
for a specified nPartition (
-p
#
, where
#
is the partition number), or use the EFI Shell
cellconfig
command to set use-on-next-boot values.
•
Set core cell choices:
—
In the Partition Manager
Hardware
tab, select the nPartition to which the target cell
belongs. Select
nPartition > Modify nPartition
. Click the
Set Cell Options
tab, change
the
Core Cell Choice
attribute, and click
OK
.
—
Alternatively, use the
parmodify -p
#
-r
#
-r
#
...
command to specify up to four
core cell choices in priority order for a specified nPartition (
-p
#
, where
#
is the partition
number), or use the EFI Shell
rootcell
command to set core cell choices.
•
Set cell local memory (vs. interleaved memory) values:
—

tab,
change the

attribute (as a fraction of total available memory, or as a
fixed amount), and click

parmodify -p# -m#::::%
command (
-p
#
, where
#
is the
partition number,

#
is the cell number, and where % is the cell local memory
value, expressed as a percentage).
•
Setting nPartition boot paths:
—
You must use the EFI Shell
bcfg
